In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 344 Father and Mother, Back to the Night of the Nine-Tailed Fox

soon.

The monster quieted down, gently flicking its snake head, and transformed into Qianye's pet dog.

From now on, we'll call him Xiao Hei.

"What are these things? A wooden dragon, and a humanoid monster with a giant mouth and wings?"

Sasori and Kakuzu heard the commotion outside and rushed out.

"It's nothing, just a vessel I found for the dragon vein. It's become my pet, and now it's harmless. I named it Xiao Hei." Qianye, with his back to the two, patted Xiao Hei's head and casually dispelled the Wood Dragon Technique.

Kakuzu seemed to recognize Chiya's ninjutsu and asked hesitantly, "This is the First Hokage's Wood Dragon Technique."

"Oh?" Chiya closed his Mangekyou Sharingan, his pupils returning to their jet-black state. A look of interest appeared in his eyes as he chuckled teasingly, "You, who threw kunai at the First Hokage from 800 miles away back then, actually recognize this Wood Dragon Technique?"

"What do you mean by throwing kunai from 800 miles away? I actually fought the First Hokage!" Kakuzu blushed, his tone tinged with a hint of insecurity. "I just lost."

"Do as you please. Next, I will seal the Dragon Vein into this little black body." Qianye waved his hand and said seriously, "Scorpion, you were originally in charge of intelligence work in the Akatsuki organization, so you must know that the Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin."

"Yes, I never expected that Tobi, that bean sprout, would actually be the mastermind behind Akatsuki, and the legendary Uchiha Madara." Sasori nodded solemnly.

"So, what are your plans for the future?" Chiya casually replied, "If you don't want to participate in the war, you should find a place to hide. Amegakure would be best. It's currently the only place that won't be affected by the war, and you two are quite familiar with it."

Kakuzu and Sasori exchanged a glance, then looked at Chiya with some surprise. "I thought you were going to send us over to join the battle."

Chiya laughed and said, "This war has gone beyond the scope of ninjas. Even the Five Kage are just cannon fodder with some ability. Your going will only add to the sacrifices."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I still cherish my comrades. At least, apart from that guy who tried to kill me, I secretly saved all the other Akatsuki members."

Sasori was suddenly startled. "Pain was supposedly defeated by Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. You saved him too?"

Chiya said, "Being defeated by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a bit of an exaggeration. Naruto doesn't have that much ability. But I did save him, after all, he's my brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law" Sasori and Kakuzu rolled their eyes. Sure enough, this guy still made a move against Konan.

"Alright. Whether you go to fight or hide in Amegakure and wait for the war to end is up to you."

After Qianye finished speaking, he jumped onto Xiao Hei's head and headed towards the location where the dragon vein was sealed.

Scorpion's voice sounded from behind, "Wait."

"Is there anything else?" Qianye turned around.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki came by a while ago." Sasori seemed hesitant to speak.

"I know. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is currently at Hozuki Castle, and the Eight-Tails is there too. I just came back from there," Chiya replied.

"Um...me."

"What?" Looking at Scorpion's perfectly understandable expression, Qianye knew perfectly well that he wanted her to save his parents, and immediately revealed a playful smile.

"My parents," Scorpion mustered his courage and spoke with difficulty.

Chiya nodded, giving an affirmative answer, and then looked at Kakuzu, "Kakuzu, is there anyone you need me to bring back for you?"

"I didn't," Kakuzu answered without hesitation. He would never save those Longyin ninja who had betrayed him.

An angry roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, the sound filled with intense hatred and an ominous aura.

Nine enormous, fiery red tails unfurled in mid-air, creating a violent shockwave. The surrounding houses were torn to shreds like paper, and planks, dust, and stone fragments flew wildly in all directions.

The villagers, who should have been immersed in a peaceful scene, all screamed in terror and despair upon seeing this sight.

"Nine-Tailed Fox."

It was the same familiar scene.

It was that familiar scream again.

As Chiya witnessed the scene before him, his Observation Haki and sensory abilities radiated outwards, quickly locating his childhood self and his parents.

He first secretly rescued his father, who had gone to intercept the Nine-Tails, and then used Wood Release clones to impersonate him and fake his death.

To its astonishment, I used illusion magic to put it into a deep sleep and put it into the system's inventory.

Then there was his mother and his childhood self.

It was still the mother who died protecting him.

But Qianye wasn't sad at all.

He placed his palm on the body and easily revived it. Then, he used the same trick again, creating a Wood Release clone to feign death.

Just as Qianye was about to put her mother into the system space, her mother woke up.

Her voice trembled and weak as she asked, "Who are you?"

He transmigrated to this world at the age of six and had no feelings for his parents in this life, nor had he ever spoken a word to them.

Therefore, he has no intention of acknowledging her.

But his mother's next words sent a chill down his spine: "Are you Xiaoye?"

Xiaoye, what an unfamiliar name.

This is how his parents addressed him in both his past and present lives.

Qianye paused for a moment, then, without exchanging much words with her, used illusion magic to put her to sleep and then stored her in the system's warehouse.

Following the direction of the Nine-Tails' chakra, they headed towards the outskirts of Konoha Village.

Along the way, Chiya sensed a large amount of chakra that he had never perceived before, which was hiding in the Sarutobi clan's territory.

Now he finally understood why the Sarutobi clan in the original Fourth Shinobi World War had a military unit.

However, when his clan was wiped out, there were very few strong individuals left, only a little over two thousand.

He immediately created several shadow clones to deal with the group of Sarutobi clan ninjas.

He also concealed his true identity and blocked the Third Hokage and others who were heading to the Nine-Tails' location, thus facilitating his next move.

By the time Chiya arrived, the Fourth Hokage had already used the Reaper Death Seal to extract half of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

At the same time, Chiya also met the newborn Naruto for the first time, as well as Kushina, the purpose of his trip.

The Uzumaki clan's signature red hair had dimmed slightly due to the extraction of the tailed beasts; his skin was pale, his hair was disheveled, and five chains made of chakra extended from his back, binding the Nine-Tails.

Because half of its chakra was drained, Kurama's size decreased, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains binding it became noticeably looser.

Unfortunately, Kushina was too weak to finish the work in time.

Kurama realized that the Fourth Hokage intended to seal it inside Naruto.

Its claws extended, intending to kill Naruto with a single finger, just like in the original story.

Kushina and the Fourth Hokage made their move.

Just as they were about to use their own bodies to block the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws.

Chiya appeared and caught the Nine-Tails' claw with one hand. "You're really in a sorry state, Fourth Hokage."
